On February 14, it will be one year since giving myself the best Valentine's present ever. I came to Lucinda Ellery NY to get my system built, and I walked out a new person no longer concern about wind or water! As someone who had been struggling to manage my hair loss since my late teens, I desperately wanted a solution that would work with my naturally very curly hair and look natural. The team at Lucinda Ellery couldn't have done a better job of making me feel more at ease. From warm and welcoming Gabrielle at the front desk, to Chastity, who really worked to understand my goals and built the system, and Claudia who taught me how to care for it, I knew I was in great hands. Over the past year, I've gotten to know most of the rest of the gang who also support each other and the clients -- Myrel and Roberto in particular usually help out with my maintenance appointments and are just fabulous. As a fellow curly girl, Chastity has been my primary - working to test out different products and approaches with my hair- both natural and the system - to aim for the perfect blend. The team has also introduced me to the joy of professional coloring to really make it all work (and deal with my increasingly grey natural hair!)! I'm grateful to them and only wish I could bring them all to Washington, DC. We could really use an outpost here because I have met several other clients who travel up regularly like me to keep up the hair! We need more safe places and open conversations so that women can support each other as they seek great solutions like Lucinda Ellery!

Lucinda Ellery is such an amazing place that has changed my life! I have always felt self conscious about my hair loss, but ever since I started coming here a few months ago I feel like a new person with my newfound confidence!! Every employee is amazing but I must give a shoutout to Chasity for doing an awesome job on my hair, as well as being so kind and informative if I have any questions! I would recommend this place to anyone who is struggling with hair loss!!

I have trichotillomania, a medically recognized condition that has deeply affected my hair and confidence. Losing my long, thick hair and developing bald spots has been one of the most emotionally difficult experiences of my life. From my very first consultation, I knew this place was different. I was incredibly nervous — it was the first time I would show anyone my bald spots and allow myself to be that vulnerable. The compassion, kindness, and empathy displayed by Barbara and the entire team exceeded every expectation I had. At my first appointment, Yari was my technician. Interacting with her was a pleasure — I warmed up to her so naturally that it felt like catching up with an old friend. She was thoughtful in how she framed questions about my trichotillomania, allowing me to answer without anxiety. She quietly covered my station and nearby mirrors so I wouldn’t feel exposed, and she explained every step of the process with care. We talked, laughed, and even cried at the end of the visit — because, for the first time in months, I felt beautiful again. When someone feels deeply insecure and chooses to reveal that vulnerability, being treated with dignity and compassion is rarer than many realize. After months of hiding and shame, I finally felt seen — and truthfully, for the first time, I wanted to be seen. More importantly, I began allowing myself to accept the compassion so generously extended to me. Lucinda Ellery did more than address my hair. They restored a version of myself I thought I had lost. The team quickly became like family, answering my questions in a timely manner — even when it meant going out of their way — simply to ensure I felt supported. I will never forget going home after my first appointment with my new hairpiece — excited to celebrate Eid with my family, something I hadn’t felt in months — yet also quietly overwhelmed by this new and beautiful responsibility. Even though I had an in-person wash appointment, I was still nervous about washing and styling the hair on my own for the first time. So I reached out to the team last minute for guidance. They were incredibly generous with their time and advice, especially knowing Eid was the very next day. They sent personalized videos addressing my specific concerns, with step-by-step instructions on how to wash, dry, and style my hair so I would feel confident doing it myself. No matter how last-minute my requests were, they always found a way to accommodate me. Whether it was trimming my hairpiece, reviewing washing instructions, or easing my nerves before a friend’s wedding where I was a bridesmaid, they showed up. I was anxious about styling my hair and worried about drawing attention to the hairpiece, but they went above and beyond — even recreating the exact bridesmaid hairstyle on me beforehand — so I could see how seamless and beautiful it would look. That gesture alone significantly reduced my anxiety going into the wedding day. These are only a few of the many positive experiences I’ve chosen to highlight. I understand that this service is an investment. However, you are paying for quality, expertise, and patented hair technology specifically designed to support individuals with trichotillomania and other causes of hair loss without damaging natural hair, as traditional extensions often can. Their approach allows your natural hair to grow comfortably while you continue wearing beautiful, seamless, real human hair. It also provides a protective barrier that reduces the urge to pick at new growth, giving your hair the opportunity to recover in a safe and supported way. In a world where vulnerability is often met with judgment, Lucinda Ellery chose compassion — and that has made all the difference. For anyone navigating trichotillomania or hair loss, I cannot recommend them enough. From Gabriella at the front desk to every member of the team — with Barbara, Robert, and Yari deserving special recognition — they are not just specialists; they are magicians with safe hands and warm hearts.
